Overview

Daisy Foundation Founded in 1999 in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, the DAISY Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the extraordinary compassion and skill of nurses worldwide. Through its flagship DAISY Award® for Extraordinary Nurses, the Foundation partners with healthcare institutions and nursing schools to celebrate nurses, faculty, and students who demonstrate exceptional care and empathy. Guided by its mission to meaningfully recognize nursing excellence and its vision to serve as the global symbol of compassionate healthcare, the DAISY Foundation has grown into an international movement that uplifts and inspires the nursing profession across thousands of organizations around the world. DAISY Medical Mission Grants The DAISY Foundation and AMN Healthcare are proud to offer Medical Mission Grants to support DAISY Honoree nurses who travel the world and help underserved populations. According to the World Health Organization, some 3.8 billion people lack access to basic healthcare services. Nurses who volunteer their time and expertise to medical mission trips, providing care in under-served areas, are making a significant difference to those populations. Often, medical mission trips require that volunteers pay their own expenses. From time to time, we have been asked to contribute to those expenses, and we have not, until now, had the means to do so. Therefore, as a new benefit, The DAISY Foundation is offering grants to DAISY Honorees who require funding for their expenses to volunteer on medical missions.  We hope this new initiative will encourage nurses who have demonstrated extraordinary compassion in their daily practice to contribute to patient care for the world’s most under-served and vulnerable people.
